Covalent bonding happens when an atom (I'm assuming you know the basics of an atom's behaviour) wants an electon in it's shell to give it a noble gas configuration. It therefore shares the electron with another atom that has the same dilemma. They therefore bond with each other as they are sharing an electron.

Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding can occur in solids, such as in diamond where each carbon atom forms covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms. However, in some solids, like metals and ionic compounds, the bonding is mainly metallic or ionic, respectively, due to the different types of interactions between atoms.
What is the type of bonding called When electrons are shared?
covalent bonds
What type of bonding is involved in the compound SiF4?
polar covalent - use the electronegativity difference
What is a phrase applies to covalent bonding and not other kind of bonding?
In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This contrasts with ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred. One phrase specific to covalent bonding is "electron sharing."
Is caffeine the result of ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
Caffeine is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms that form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.

What are the uses of a covalent bonding?
covalent bonding is used to share electrons
What is the type of bonding called When electrons are shared?
covalent bonds
What is the composition of substances with covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding is formed generally between nonmetals.
What type of bonding does sulphur have?
covalent bonding
How do you compare ionic and covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
What are the similar between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
What type of bonding is involved in the compound SiF4?
polar covalent - use the electronegativity difference

Are diamonds an example of Metallic bonding?
No - pure covalent bonding
Type of chemical bonding found in the diamond?
it has covalent bonding
Does bromine have ionic bonds or covalent bond?
